Literally just had a baby two weeks ago. Only one vaccine. Hep B. Doctor said, "do you want the hep b vaccine? Its recommended in the first 48 hours of life."
No shots the following monday at the pedes office for her newborn check up either.
Utter fucking insanity that doctors are giving this shit to newborns or 1 month olds.
I agree. Pretty sure my new born isnt coming in contact with a disease spread thru sex or drug use.
But still, it was one and not "all the vaccines".
I thought it was only given if one of the parent has it.
Our pediatrician told us it's okay to delay the Hep B due to natural breastfeeding immunity. The hospital staff actually were the ones to first advise us that we had the choice to defer all shots. They were also really chill about the eye drops and their protocol was not use the drops for at least several hours so the baby could latch and see us. They also offered the option of skipping the goop and applying breast milk.
They didn't have the option for the liquid vitamin K though, unfortunately, but not because they were against it. In fact they received several requests for it and we're aware of its advantages vs the injection.
Really it all boils down to being intelligent and selecting your providers.
